■Cooperation details
Up until now, the parking lots listed on P-Collection have mainly been coin parking lots, but from December 2023, a new search condition for “reservation-only parking lots” will be added, and information on Akippa parking lots will begin to be posted. I did. From February 22, 2024, Akippa’s reservation information will be linked to the API, making it possible to view the availability of Akippa parking reservations on P-Collection.
■Purpose of collaboration
P-Collection is a parking lot search app that allows you to search parking information at over 100,000 locations nationwide and earn points. We are working to increase the number of listed parking lots because the more parking lots listed, the more convenient the search will be for users. Through this collaboration, Akippa has added over 35,000 reservation-based parking lots, bringing the total number of listed parking lots to over 130,000 (as of February 22, 2024). In addition, at Akippa, usage is expected to increase as there will be more touch points for drivers looking for parking spaces.
We hope that the collaboration between the two companies will lead to improved convenience for drivers.
